It seems as though we have come full circle as a family, returning to the place where this blog started several years ago. We've added Finn and quadrupled the noise in our house, lived in two states and three houses, made many new friends and said many teary goodbyes. The most amazing thing about moving back to this town is that so many of our friends remain and the warm welcome we received was incredible. There was none of the angst normally (at least for me) associated with finding my way into new friendships, locating all the essentials, and getting lost. Sitka, we love you!

Want to know what is awesome when the temperature is negative two? Splitting wood.

We are making progress on the other house. The small bedroom is painted. The tub is caulked. Some huge gouges in the floor are on their way to being filled. Filling holes in our bedroom walls, possibly a first coat of paint in there, and painting the hall are all on the agenda for tomorrow.
